The government of British Columbia has created a shortlist of proponents to enter the next stage of evaluation for the proposed privatization of the Liquor Distribution Branch’s warehousing and distribution services.
Government has undertaken a transparent process based on standard government procurement practices to consider six proposals in response to the Negotiated Request for Proposals (NRFP) to contract for the LDB’s warehousing and distribution services.
Based on the six submissions received, the NRFP evaluation committee shortlisted four of the most qualified proponents. They are (in alphabetical order):
* ContainerWorld Forwarding Services Inc.
* Exel Canada Ltd.
* Kuehne + Nagel Ltd.
*Metro Supply Chain Group Inc.
The NRFP contained a provision for up to the three top-ranked proposals. There was a tie for the third spot, so four proponents will now continue through the process. The shortlisted proponents will now have an opportunity to refine their proposals based on discussions with the NRFP evaluation committee.
